About “Read or Restrict”
Conservative activists and parents have put pressure on local schools and library boards to remove certain books from their collections. Many of the targeted titles feature LGBTQ and other minority characters, beloved by young adult readers who want to see themselves reflected in literature. Critics of these titles label them as obscene or inappropriate for kids. But who gets to decide?
The film includes interviews with:
Jason Aukerman, Center for Ray Bradbury Studies
Micah Beckwith, Lieutenant Governor, Life Church & former Hamilton County Library board member
Jonathan Friedman, PEN America
Leah Johnson, Young Adult novelist and owner of Loudmouth Books
Diane Rogers, Indiana Library Federation
Jim Tomes, Indiana Senator
Our gratitude to WFYI for making this event possible!
